Funny thing is that the vehicle sold based strictly on the mileage. The fact that it is 19 years old and will certainly need quite a few things due to its age is apparently ignored by the buyers.
Some of our vehicles, with new front ends, new springs, and rebuilt transmissions may be in better shape mechanically than this one. That being said, I think that my SD needs an odometer transplant.

Florida..................hmmmmmmmmmmmmm how much you want to bet that title has been laundered. and it has WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more miles than that. It would have to have meticulous service history records from new to prove that. Even with that its way too high a price. Yes I bet that dealer is having one hell of a party. But then, the buyer needs to deliver the cash or its not a done deal.

I think I remember seeing it before, it may not be the first time it ran. May have seen it on traderonline.
Worthy of note is that this is not your typical high price ebay auction with the pictures snapped at the country club.

That's not a shill bid. The vehicle remained at $8850. until the final seconds of the auction. Rings4 put in a proxy bid of $14500. the day before the auction closed. When he placed his bid, the price of the vehicle was at $5,000. A shill would be a moron to go this high above the current price. Then, in the final seconds, growing tree put two bids in. Both were $14,600. or higher and he won it at $14,600. Now, I can see it possible that one fellow, Rings4, decided that he definitely wanted this vehicle, price no object, so he bids way over the current bid of $5,000. But, a second bidder, who decides that he will bid way over the current bid of $8850?  Both bidders jumped a huge gap, one from $5,000 and the other from $8850, to try for the vehicle.

But Pete11bravo, Rings4 and Olderdad are all ZERO fedback bidders.....I haven't tried to see when they joined ebay and their location. Still willing to bet we see this car again and the winning bidder bails out. Rings4 joined Jun-11-01 and has ZERO feedback???????? Olderdad joined olderdad Dec-08-03 and Zero feedback???????? pete11bravo May-24-04 ......thats more beliveible. I wonder were these guys are all registered. Still seems suspicious to me.

Do ya think it could have still been shills? The buyer may give a second chance offer.
The shill may have been intended to get the real bidders at their max.
